Congratulations Brad and LeighAnna

We had such fun with this wonderful couple at their wedding reception! Their colors were navy and dusty rose, and they did a great job of pulling them together. The tables had floor-length white cloths, centerpieces of tea pots holding white and dusty rose flowers, and teacups with candles, all sitting on navy fabric. The guest’s rose-colored dinner napkins were folded into the shape of a rose. The place settings also had rose-colored menu cards. To tie in with the wedding colors, we had our uplights around the room, giving off an elegant blue glow.

The guests arrived to find a dusty rose-colored sign welcoming them, a photo booth for fun pictures, and a boxwood greenery wall holding table assignments. For the guest book, guests took their picture with a Polaroid camera, put the picture in the book, and signed next to it.

LeighAnna’s four-tiered, stacked, white cake was so pretty! It had white and rose-colored flowers accenting the tiers, with subtle green foliage designs in the frosting. Brad’s two-tiered groom’s cake was for his hobby: playing the guitar. The cake was dark blue with silver music notes cascading down the front and an edible guitar on the top. It was cool!

When it came time to dance, this crowd loved everything from oldies to country to pop. They were dancing all night long, singing along and having a blast! Our dance floor lighting added to the party feel.

Later, we stopped for the garter removal and toss and called all the gentlemen to the dance floor. But, as a surprise, instead of tossing the garter, Brad tossed a t-shirt. We then called everyone in the room to the dance floor, LeighAnna joined Brad, and they tossed at least 20 t-shirts to the guests. Everyone was jumping to catch one and it was so funny! The shirts had the couple’s photo on the front and half the lucky catchers put the t-shirts on for the rest of the reception.

When the night ended and the guests finished the last dance, the newlyweds stayed to share a private last dance together. Then, they made their exit through a shower of bubbles, climbed into a restored, 1960 pink Cadillac and headed off to their new life as a married couple. Congratulations Brad and LeighAnna and enjoy your honeymoon cruise!

Congratulations Ryan and Rachael

This wedding was held at one of our favorite historic venues in Galveston. The colors were burgundy and navy and the couple did a great job carrying them throughout the wedding. The outdoor ceremony was held in the gazebo, in front of an elegant draping of burgundy and navy fabric. Rachael was stunning in her strapless, lace dress, delicate floral headpiece and long lace trimmed veil. The bridal party wore burgundy floor-length dresses while the groomsmen wore navy tuxes. All of the flowers were a combination of burgundy, navy and off-white colors.

The guests entered the ballroom to find a unique guest ‘book’. It consisted of fabric squares that the guests signed. Later, Rachael will make them into a quilt. The guest’s dinner tables were so pretty. They alternated between burgundy and navy damask floor-length cloths and were topped by burgundy or navy napkins. A menu card was tucked into each napkin. The centerpieces were a variety of antique lanterns surrounded by flowers and candles. To give the room an elegant glow, we had our pale pink uplights shining up the walls.

The white, two-tiered wedding cake was embellished with pearls and blue and burgundy flowers. The topper had a little bride and groom, accented by matching flowers. For a special treat for the guests, there was a dessert table covered in mini-cupcakes, cookies, mousse, and an assortment of mini-desserts. It was a hit!

Once dancing was underway, LED foam wands and LED fiber wands were passed out to the guests. There was a Hora, where Ryan was lifted up in a chair while guests danced around him. There was a lot of fun dancing! When guests weren’t on the dance floor, they had a great time taking pictures in our photo booth. The newlyweds even brought an enlarged picture of their cat, Potato, and took pictures in the photo booth with it . Too funny!

When the reception ended, the newlyweds ran through well-wishers, climbed into Ryan’s truck, and headed off. Congratulations Rachael and Ryan!
